Boris Becker stormed into Tennis world with some amazing wins even as a teenager. Boris Becker was born in the German town of Leimen. He started playing Tennis from a very young age and he became a pro at the age of 17. He was the darling of the crowd in his teens and he continued to enjoy popularity for a long period of time. Sadly, his form started deteriorating in the 90’s after he reached the world no.1 rank for the first time in his career. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest ever Tennis players of all times. He probably peaked a bit too soon and could not sustain his form for long. It was a bit like the Swiss sensation, Martina Hingis who also peaked too soon but could not sustain the fire for long. Enjoy the quiz.

I used to like watching Boris Becker play. It’s surprising that he never won the French Open when his style was perfect for clay.
It is possible that Becker peaked too early in his career and could not sustain his momentum for long.
He still won the other three on surfaces other than clay even though clay was his best surface
Nicely done on your quiz. Missed two!
You always do well on most quizzes Carol. You do well on Tennis, Geography and GK quizzes. So one more good score.
Four out of eight on this quiz. At least Boris is successful as a coach after his tennis career ended.
Thanks for taking part Deepizzaguy. Sadly, life has not been all that great for Becker after becoming a coach. He had to declare insolvency.
I am sorry to hear that.
Glad you like it Tasartcraft.
Although this is already very far, I still answered 4
Yes Lado. Becker played in 80’s and 90’s. So it was quite long back and so 4 is a reepectable score.
To remember everything, he should be the right computer, dear friend
Great quiz. You got 6 out of 8 right!
Thank you Vidocka. 6 is a good score.
